Abigail Turner will do anything to capture Zack’s heart. Even though he’s made it clear nothing can happen, she won’t take no for an answer.

“This series just keeps getting better and better…if that’s even possible. No one writes a rock romance like Ms. Jeanisse. She gives you the raw, gritty life of rockers who don’t follow the rules and she isn’t afraid to break your heart along the way only to put it back together again.” ~ Doris

Zack stood next to a nearby table. He smiled at Abigail’s giddy expression. She was most definitely surprised. Her gift laid just in reach. He had hidden the small box in a pair of socks for the past week.

He’d planned to mail it to her. For a change, his usual procrastination worked in his favor. He hoped she liked it. Since he finally made good money, he’d purchased what had spoken to him.

“Hey,” Abigail said as she stood in front of Zack. “Did you help?”

He couldn’t meet her eyes, afraid that would portray his feelings. “Yeah. Happy birthday.” He reached over and lifted her gift. “I got you something.” When he turned, his gaze drifted to the new tattoo. Oh, fuck! He groaned to himself but hid it well. “That’s beautiful.” He stared at her cleavage. The tattoo was prominent.

“Thanks.” She threw her arms around him and cringed when her breasts pressed against him. “Was hoping you’d like it.” She pulled back a bit. “Should I open it now?”

Kyle appeared behind her and glared at Zack. “Food’s ready.” He waited until she let Zack go. “Your dad’s looking for you.”

“OK.” Abigail smiled and followed Kyle, who she noticed was angry.

Zack sighed with relief. Then he realized she hadn’t taken his present. He put it back on the table and sat down. His stomach was doing flips. Food would likely worsen it. His gaze fell on her. She hugged partygoers and laughed. She’s happy, and that’s all that matters.

His eyes roamed her body unconsciously and stopped at her tits several times. The tattoo was eye catching and looked amazing on her.

“Should I make you a plate?” Shane asked Abigail as she greeted more guests. “We got most of your favorites.”

She jumped in his arms. “You bought me another present?” She thought the tattoo was her gift. “Can I open it? Please?”

“Yeah.” Shane led her to a table with a few wrapped boxes. He selected the ones from him. “Hope you like it.”

Curious, she tore the paper. When she saw the box, she squealed. “You really got it? You said I was too young.”

“Trying to throw you off.” Her happiness meant everything to him. “This too.”

Abigail was beyond grateful. He had bought her a professional camera and lenses. “I can’t believe this.” She hugged him fiercely. “Thank you so much!” She hoped she had the chance to use it that week.

“You can open a few more later.” Shane directed her toward the food. “We got vegetable lasagna.”

“You’re the best, Daddy.”

Most of the bands set to play that day attended the party. Alcohol prevailed, but the drinkers were respectful of the occasion. Music played in the background. Everyone had good clean fun for a change. It didn’t compare to the parties they normally had. Shane was grateful it had worked out so well.

Soon after they handed cake out, the party started to wind down. Crew members needed to finish setting up the stage. Zack figured he should help, so he followed Dave toward the exit.

“Wait!” Abigail ran up to him when he reached the door. “You’re leaving? I didn’t open your gift.”

He smiled. “Right, sorry.” Instinctively, he checked to see if anyone was watching them. No one paid them any mind. He pulled the box out of his jacket pocket. “It’s just something that made me think of you.”

Excited, Abigail tore the wrapping and stared. Her pulse raced. He got me jewelry? She opened it slow. “Oh my God!” The pink heart diamond pendant was gorgeous. “I love it.” Unable to hold back, she jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his waist.

It shocked Zack when she kissed him. However, he automatically embraced her. His cock swelled when she eased her tongue into his mouth. He didn’t resist and delved his into hers. A soft moan slipped out as her hand gripped his back. Then he came to his senses and forced her to her feet.

“I’m sorry.” Zack backed away from her. “That was… That was…”

She grinned. “Amazing. I love how you kiss.” She moved closer and freed the necklace from the box. “Put it on me. Please.”

With shaky hands, Zack laid the pendant on her chest, then closed the clasp. His gaze went to her breasts again. The heart settled right between them, nestled perfectly. “Wow.”

“It’s perfect.” She hugged him again, that time on her feet. “I love you too.”

His eyes opened wide. “Wait, no. That’s not what it means.” He stepped back. Fear gripped him. “It’s just a birthday gift.”

Her reaction made him realize how extravagant and significant the pendant was. He’d purchased it without thinking of that. The impulse to please her had overruled his mind.

“I’m sorry if you misunderstood.”

Her eyes watered for a few seconds. “It’s OK. I love it.” She hoped it meant he wanted to be with her. “Thank you.” She turned and rushed to the bathroom to get herself together.

Zack watched her until the door closed. He hated to hurt her. I need a drink. He sighed. No. I need to work. As planned, he left and headed for the stage.

Robin Sharma’s ‘The 5 am Club’ is a fictionalized self-help
guide for achievers at every stage of their lives. The helpful tips to mend
one’s life has been doled out in the form of tiny nuggets chiefly through three
characters — the artist, the entrepreneur, and the eccentric tycoon — who,
while living their own struggles, heed the advice that is meant to turn their
lives around.

Sharma’s latest release brings together lessons for those
who want to make something of their lives. A legendary leadership and elite
performance expert, the author introduced The 5 AM Club concept over twenty
years ago. This revolutionary morning routine, according to the author, has
helped his clients maximize their productivity, activate their best health, and
bulletproof their serenity in this age of overwhelming complexity. In his
latest release he goes back to this concept and emphasizes its viability
through a fictionalized story.

His prose is clear and easy to read, keeping the focus on
observations, questions, and recommendations. He also provides an effective
vision of what makes a true leader. Overall, Sharma has yet again produced a useful
guide that will aid people of all ages.

However, what kept irking me was the dragging story-line. It
kind of seemed superfluous to me and could have been done away with. Whatever
the author chose to say, he could have done it in a non-fictionalized version
in the form of a true self-help book. In addition, much of what he writes in
this book is the amalgamation of all his theories given out by him thus far in
his previous releases. There’s nothing new in this one per se. Of course, for
the new initiates it holds some terrific suggestions and advice.

Overall, Sharma’s ‘The 5 am Club’ is an authoritatively
written life manual.

Robin Sharma is a globally respected humanitarian. Widely
considered one of the world’s top leadership and personal optimization
advisors, his clients include famed billionaires, professional sports superstars
and many Fortune 100 companies. The author’s #1 bestsellers, such as the Monk
Who Sold His Ferrari, The Greatness Guide and The Leader Who Had No Title are
in over 92 languages, making him one of the most broadly read writers alive
today.

My Life’s Journey is the autobiography of Jankidevi Bajaj, who used fortitude and humility to overcome social evils that were prevalent in pre-independent India.

Born into a wealthy family in Madhya Pradesh, Jankidevi’s upbringing was steeped in tradition, with hardly any formal education. At the tender age of eight, she was married to Jamnalal Bajaj, the Bajaj heir. This book is the journey of a young girl who followed her husband’s footsteps and willingly gave up her luxurious life to adopt the quintessential Gandhian simplicity. She worked tirelessly towards India’s freedom struggle.

Her story, told in her own simplistic style, is laced with absorbing anecdotes that have the power to inspire any generation. There is plenty of wry humour as there are moving confessions about her own shortcomings. Every chapter is a quick-read but filled with the magnitude of her actions, which over time led to the abolishment of purdah and untouchability.

This is the story of a daughter of India who made the move from a mansion to an ashram, from silk to khadi, from a simple homemaker to a nationalist; a woman who went to jail for her country and marched many miles barefoot, alongside other stalwarts, to give us the freedom we enjoy today.

Jankidevi Bajaj (1893 - 1979) was one of India’s prominent social change makers. She worked relentlessly to abolish purdah and untouchability alongside Mahatma Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave. She fought for India’s freedom and endured imprisonment. She wished for a country that respected all women and was free from social evils. Her contribution was recognized with a Padma Vibhushan in 1956.
